Thought I'd share this since I know a lot of people are short on cash these days, and to be honest, who doesn't need a little extra money every now and then? There is one catch though, you have to have free time.

It's a survey site that pays you for taking surveys. And they are not a rip off/gimmick site. Plus they offer several payout options. I've been using them for about six months and I've had no complaints. You simply take some anonymous surveys online and they reward you with points that can be exchanged for money (I typically go for the Amazon gift cards). Most surveys don't take very long. The real hard part is finding surveys you qualify for. But for the most part, it's a pretty good survey site. They get a lot of surveys, and thus have a lot of opportunities to score points.

I've tried a few survey sites that sucked. Surveys were infrequent, rewards took forever to amount to anything, etc. However, this site has been pretty good. Doesn't take long at all to rack up some dough. It's not a whole lot, but it buys books.

And if anyone knows of better sites (or other good sites) feel free to share them here. (or any other good money making ideas)._________________

This is very interesting, and I'll hopefully take this up, so thank you, Skuls!

I do, however, just need to make sure you're the Skuls we know and love, and not an imposter. *Straps Skuls down in a torture chair* What are ze codes for this Imperial sector? Vher is ze Rebel base?

Seriously, though. It is you saying this, Skuls, and not a spammer who's hacked your account?_________________I am a Star Wars fan. That doesn't mean that I hate or love Jar Jar.

Yes, it's me. It does sound spammish, but hey, I've been having a fun time making money and buying Star Wars stuff. Figured I'd share the riches._________________

I can vouch for the fact that it is Skuls and he does do those surveys. Usually when I'm trying to talk to him. LOL_________________Roqoo Depot co-founder.

Every now and then you get a really fun survey where it's like a video game and you walk around in a virtual grocery store and pick out what items you want. The best ones are the movie surveys. Sometimes they show you early trailers for the films, and one of them paid $50._________________

hmm this sounds very interesting. Might check it out. I've been toying with the idea of doing something like this to basically give me some fun spending money while not actually putting a dent in my bank account for the stuff i actually need.

Quick question: does this do paypal or actual cash? Not everything can be gotten on Amazon.com so just wondering what the other payments are.

@ Life and others wondering if that is the real Skuldren: I checked the IP address for his original post and it is the same IP used for 532 other posts by Skuldren. Skuldren is also the only forum user to have posted from that IP address. So it is the real Skuldren._________________

Haha. Okay, thanks, Salaris! While I was half joking, I must admit I was a little unsure. All signed up. Cheers, Skuls, Salaris.

Just thought I'd bump this to ask how things are going for people who signed up. I haven't gotten around to it (bloody grad school work and all) but thought it would be interesting to find out how people are doing with the whole survey thing._________________

I signed up. After two-ish months, I've amassed the grand total of...£1. _________________I am a Star Wars fan. That doesn't mean that I hate or love Jar Jar.

Did a 46 pointer the other day and earned around $10 for it. Not too shabby._________________

I don't get it. By that reasoning, 20 points should be around a fiver. Yet twenty points on the UK site is £1. _________________I am a Star Wars fan. That doesn't mean that I hate or love Jar Jar.

Every ten points usually rounds out to a dollar, but some wind up being more_________________Perfection is a lifelong pursuit requiring sacrifice. The only way to get it quicker is to sacrifice the most.

You have to lie to them and tell them you're a corporate executive who makes all the important business decisions for your company. That pays more _________________
